The post Dune: USDT Leads Payments, USDC Dominates DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The world’s biggest stablecoins are increasingly becoming chain-specific financial products, with Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circle’s USDC (USDC) serving distinct roles across the crypto ecosystem rather than competing head-on. Dune’s Digital Asset Brief found that USDT overwhelmingly dominates onchain payments. During the first half of 2026, the biggest stablecoin settled about $95 billion in identified commerce payments, compared with $14 billion for second-biggest USDC. It also accounted for roughly 92% of the $48 billion in business-to-business payment volume. On Tron, USDT’s largest network, around 93% of the token’s supply is held in ordinary wallets rather than on exchanges, underscoring its role as a payment and remittance asset. USDC, meanwhile, has established itself as the dominant stablecoin in decentralized finance. USDC on Base processed roughly $2.6 trillion in transfer volume in J

The post Summer.fi reveals months-long preparation behind $6M DeFi exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Summer.fi has published a detailed post-mortem on the $6.04 million exploit that drained two of its Lazy Summer Protocol USDC vaults. It concludes that the attack was planned months in advance rather than being an opportunistic flash loan exploit. The report says the attacker spent roughly three months accumulating the assets needed to manipulate the protocol. The exploit was executed in a single atomic transaction on July 6.  It also argues that the root cause was an operational issue during the offboarding of an old strategy rather than a flaw in the protocol’s smart contracts. Attack exploited incomplete offboarding process According to the post-mortem, the attacker manipulated the net asset value [NAV] of two USDC vaults. Stale-valued Silo vault tokens were donated into an Ark that had been capped during an offboarding process. However, the Ark remained included in the va

The post Coinbase Secures UK License To Offer Equities And Perpetual Futures, Expanding Beyond Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has received a regulatory green light in the United Kingdom, according to the original report. The authorization permits the exchange to give institutional traders access to perpetual futures, while UK retail customers will be able to trade equities initially, with more traditional assets likely to follow. A Full-Service Platform Takes Shape The license signals a fundamental shift in Coinbase’s product strategy. Previously, the platform operated as a pure-play crypto exchange with a small selection of staking and custody services. Now it can act as a bridge between digital assets and regulated equity markets for British users. The equities offering will start with basic trading capability, but the infrastructure supports expansion into mutual funds, bonds, or structured products over time. That kind of multi-asset ambition has been building
